Port of Amsterdam is responsible for Stadhaven Minerva’s park management and strives to achieve a high-quality environment for both real estate and public areas. The focus lies on architecture (including heights, façades, materials, safety) and spatial quality. The area’s unique feature is, without a doubt, the impressive waterfront with views on water and shipping traffic. This inspiring port area offers multitenant buildings with space for large and small scale companies.
